Lightning is a woman of little words but a lot of action.

The first enemy always feels like some sort of boss battle.

Jumping grade, Sazh 3, Chokobo 9.

The enemy is firing some beam weapon that hits multiple targets at once.

Battle results will depend on speed and the way you handle yourself during the fight which will bring you more or less experience points.

You start your exploration after the train crashes and you deal with the invaders.

Access savepoints to buy/sell or save your progress.

If the enemy sees you coming you will lose the element of surprise.

Lightning is very agile, anytime, anywhere.

After staggering the enemy, they will be much more susceptible to any type of attack.

You will often switch teams as the story progresses.

Paradigm shift

Lots of floating elevators... finally reached the exit.

In Gestalt mode you'll be able to deal massive damage to the enemy, but only for a limited time.

Snow is showing off against superior enemy... luckily he took its energy down while in Gestalt mode.

A boss battle in the game as usually hard and prolonged for a Square title.
